Help to Identify please?
« on: February 10, 2020, 05:36:01 PM »
Hi All
I have this vase I'm trying to identify the artist?
I have no idea really Swedish? French?
Its certainly quite a substantial piece, im afraid my picture dont quite convey the skills required to make such a piece.
Any ideas please share.
Kind regards Pete.

Hello and welcome, Pete. :)
Thanks for posting good images directly - much appreciated!
Are there any marks on the base at all?
Can we please see a pic of the base, even if it looks as if there's "not much there" the precise sort of "not much there" can be very informative.
It does seem very Scandanavian to me, but that's not my area. Somebody else, I am sure will be able to help.
It is a very distinctive and rather wonderful thing you have there. :)
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.

Hi Sue
Thanks for your kind reply I will get some photos of the base and provide some measurements shortly, as i am away currently and was eager to post the photos I had already.
I have checked for a mark or signature but can not find any.
Anyway Im glad you like it, I do think its quite special and would love to know who made it? From the searching ive done web images etc I kept coming back to ARISTIDE COLOTTE (1885-1959) a french maker but thats probably wishful thinking given the prices of Colotte's work maybe the school of Colotte? Or clutching at straws!
Thanks again for taking the time.
Cheers Pete.

For what it's worth ( not much given my inexpertise in this area!) I think your instincts are in the right ballpark.
Have you explored this site? vases-art-deco.fr/
Meanwhile keep searching for a mark or signature!  :)

I really want somebody who has real expertise in this area to come along and see it.
Clear glass isn't my thing. Cold worked glass isn't my thing.
But this IS something outstanding.

I wouldn't be jumping to "school of" yet.

Hello and welcome Pete, and what a stunning first post!  I can't wait to find out more about it.  Thank you for introducing me to Aristide colette's work. 

Could we have some measurements please.

Thanks

  Hi Chas, Thanks for the link some interesting similarities Im not sure if any of them are the same maker but definitely got the art deco style/geometrics on some of them. Good stuff
cheers Pete.

Yes, I'm similar. I usually avoid clear, cut glass but this has a definite style and artistry that lifts it out of the norm. Hopefully someone with good knowledge of this area will be able to tell us more!
